Aerosmith: Starwood Amphitheatre, Tennessee

Holly Gleason,
Rock's Backpages,
October 2002

"EVERY DAY, I LOOK in the mirror/ All these lines in my face gettin' clearer/ The past is gone..." It is a benediction, an acceptance, a truth projected forward rather than backwards. It is the opening of Aerosmith's meandering Dream On, a song that's most likely about regret and reconciling how it was with what it might have been -- and scratching up enough hope to continue.
